In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
How do you know that ?
Rooney told you himself, did he?
I think its clearly evident. When any other player misplaces a pass, the team carries on and turns a blind eye.
Watch what happens when Nani misplaces a pass. Nobody can disagree that Roo is the usual culprit on Nani's bollocks.
I recall one game where Nani opted to play another play in instead of Rooney and he went livid once the attack pattered out, Nani tried to explain but Rooney was having none of it. Even though Nani was correct to ignore Rooney as he was either offside or heavily marked - but still i dont think Rooney hates him rather a professional disagreement
Yeh, ok.
So when vidic or rio fecks in the back or vds fecks up one of the three usually has a go at the other one. Does this mean vds hates rio or rio hates vds? When SAF yells at a player on the sideline does this mean that he hates the said player.
In a football game, emotions are high and players don't usually think sensibly regarding other players feelings. Anyone that's played football knows this.
You'd have to be pretty fecking stupid if you're basing rooney hating nani on rooney's actions on the field.
Rooney doesn't like the Portuguese.
Magical goal that
Don't be stupid now, VDS has to belt out orders to his defence. Regardless of making mistakes or not.
What i'm saying is what i see on the field. And if you'd have actually watched United matches you'd see that Roo does get on Nani's back quite alot. If you disagree with that your blind. Or your just watching the highlights i presume.
Ronaldo would have been very proud of that one.
Yes, I don't watch any united games. I just watch the highlights.
Clearly you've never played football before. Shit happens on the field and emotions are always high. Actually this applies to all sports. When you want to win, you don't think on the field about other peoples feelings. You've clearly not played any sports before.
Also, did you ever think Rooney is the one yelling at him cause he's pretty much always the closest to him. It's not like Rooney is running all the way from the other side of the field to yell at him.
You should've been a journo, you would've fit in with the likes of Neil Custis perfectly
So Nani definitely scored today right? 
A bit of confusion in the other thread as to whether or not our Zoran Tosic scored.
If Nani did score, then good on him. If his consistency improves he can definitely make a push for a starting spot for Portugal in South Africa. (Assuming they win their play-off of course..!)

There's a video not far above, check for yourself. Either Nani scored or Michael Jackson has resurrected.
Hopefully that will give him a nice confidence boost
Played well tonight - had a role in a couple of other goals as well, and in anything that looked like it might lead to a goal. Should be a nice boost for him.
veeery nice goal. nani runs so hot or cold, so black or white. there's no middle ground. one minute you're rolling your eyes and the next they're bugging out in disbelief.

Michael Jackson joke, eh?
Well Rooney has to deal with it, and stop blaming his poor form on other players, it makes me sick
I'm sure Rooney doesn't 'hate' Nani, but it's obvious he's gotten too frustrated with him and he's allowing it to effect his judgement. There's been a number of occasions over the last month where Rooney has ranted at him despite Nani actually making the right decision. The situation that OneUnited mentioned above was probably the worst, as Nani tried to explain to him why he passed it to Berbatov instead but Rooney just stormed off as Nani was talking, leaving Nani standing there with a confused look on his face.Yes, I don't watch any united games. I just watch the highlights.

It's starting to look like the kind of situation we had with Ruud going off at Ronaldo constantly towards the end of his time here. Now hopefully it won't cause problems off-the-field in the way it did, but Rooney needs to pull his head in. All it does is make Nani struggle with confidence even more, and causes Rooney to get ever more frustrated which causes his inconsistent form.
You have never played football, have you?
So because i defended Nani for not playing Rooney in and thinking Rooney's reaction was over the top i have never played football before? All im saying is i do agree that Rooney more than other players gets frustrated with Nani, i mean if Berba takes a shot on and misses Rooney signals him to say "i was open" but if its Nani you see him give him a real ear full. I know people get annoyed in games when they want to win (more so in Rooney's case) but in that instance i was talking about eariler i fail to understand why Rooney approached Nani after still annoyed that he didnt play him in - if i recall he screamed at him once the attack pattered out then after they finished defending he still went over to him.
That is obvious. I dont think anyone can tell you its not happening.
I was just saying because people tend to brush it off as "passion" for the game, just heat of the moment stuff but i think its a little more than that.
On the Roo-Nani thing. I doubt the players remember most of these "arguments" that are supposed to happen on the pitch, and I'm sure Nani, like most flair wingers, has been hearing the same complaint since he was about 5.
The trouble with comparing it with a situation like Rio, VdS, vidic snapping at one another - is that's an argument among equals. When Roo (star man, loved and respected by the crowd) takes a shot at Nani (nearly man, who's already got a chunk of the crowd on his back) - it's like telling the groaners that he's fair game for some more groaning.
I always thought some of the flack Fletcher got from the crowd was because of the way Keane used to jump on him. Even then, players like Gary Neville used to get in the way if Keane got too enthusiastic about having a go at the new kids - I hope someone's doing the same thing with Roo now, but maybe with Neville missing, Giggs a part-timer, and Rio needing to watch his own form, I wonder if that's happening.
That said: I know Fletcher says Keane did a great job helping him to improve. I hope Nani will say the same thing about Rooney.
Anyway. Saturday. Nani to impress us all.

.... for five minutes. And then to be really frustrating for the other 85.
Any links to this video of Nani's goal, can't find one - they've all been taken down.
It has to start somewhere, it might as well be Saturday!
It was a lot like Ronaldo's second v Villa last season
...which would be enough to make things happen, as he does most of this season.
... but will also lead many to pull their hair out wondering why he cant achieve the level of consistency that would make him the great player we all know he so nearly is.
You're getting him mixed up with Rooney as usual.
Thankyou and what a brilliant goal, left footed too! Probably one of the most underachieving players around right now. He's got so much potential, we just have to find a way to develop his footballing brain.
Really impressed with him tonight.
Didn't have his shooting boots on and didn't really put in many decent crosses (usually his two best assets) but his all round play was very good. More of the same please.

I thought he was typical Nani tonight. Half great, half absolute bobbins.
Nani can not pass to a moving player. I saw this in 2007 during the Euro under 21 tournament, I thought he will out grow it, but it is becoming a problem.
Has anyone else seen this?
Has anyone else seen this?
Agreed
His outside of the foot pass to Berbatov? His pass to Owen vs Wigan? Most the passes he does to Evra..
In his last couple of games I must have missed the "half great" bit. Thought tonight was his best game in a while.
